Take On the Treadmill

Add variety to spice up your cardio workout by changing speed, resistance and incline throughout the workout to alternate high intensity intervals with recovery.

Start with a five-minute warm up at 3 mph with a 1 percent incline.

Follow with five minutes of slow jogging (4 to 5 mph).

Pick up the pace (6 mph+) for one minute and run at a 2 percent incline or more.

Return to the jogging pace at a 1 percent incline for two minutes.

Repeat run/jog intervals 2 to 3 more times before returning to a five-minute walk.
